Hey, you know what?  This is my fantasy and in my fantasy, Mountcastle is off playing first base for the Rockies or something.  He's not up next in the order.

The awful k's with runner on third and less than 2 outs have traumatized us.

I'd go with Adley, simply because he's got a better chance of not making an out.  And that loads the bases (hey, @Frobby wasn't clear if there was anyone else on the bases or not) or at least gives you first and third.  

Mullins would be next because I think he can drop a bunt.  I wouldn't mind Urias up there, either.

I took it to mean that who would you want to get the run in.  Because there's a good chance that Adley walks (which Frobby later answered my question and said that happens half the time).  So then you'd just be pushing to either Mountcastle or Santander.  And that would also bring up a better chance at a DP with a guaranteed runner on 1st.

Adam Frazier

He came up in a situation like that over the weekend, and when I saw him at the plate I felt really confident that he would get the run in.   And he did, with a ground ball.   I even remarked on it in the game thread... after watching the Orioles seem to underperform in those situations for years, we finally have a player that I think will do it.

Adley is not at the top of my list because he might very likely walk and pass the buck to the next guy to get the run in.   Not that a walk is bad, I welcome it, but I'm answering the question that was asked.   And Adam Frazier gives me the most confidence of getting the run in.

Adley no matter what, especially if they can't walk him. Outside of him, it would depend in the type of pitcher. If it's a right-handed strikeout pitcher, maybe Frazier? If it's an every right-hander probably Santander, Mullins and then Urias even though he's been the best. 

Left-hander, probably Santander and then Urias after Adley.

For sure but from the time they started the GWRBI stat, Eddie owned it. I think they stopped it just because nobody could touch him. I MIGHT be a little bit biased. lol

If you are going to be biased for someone Eddie is a good choice.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
